OMELET
Mrs. E. Lewis Phelps
One and one-half tablespoonful flour; one and one-half tablespoonful b.u.t.ter; blend over fire and add one cup of milk. (This should be thick and stiff when cooked.) When about cold, add one cup grated cheese (yellow American preferred); beat the yolks of seven eggs stiff, and when cold fold in the beaten whites; add a little salt. Mince some cold boiled ham, onion and green pepper for a center filling. Set the dish in pan of water and bake.

Break an egg carefully upon the top of each, dust with pepper, salt and sift some very finely powdered cracker over it all. Set in hot oven and bake until the eggs are well set (about eight minutes), and serve hot.
A SITTING OF EGGS
Mrs. Ben Craycroft
Take the number of eggs to be cooked and separate the whites and yolks.
Beat the whites to a froth, add a little salt. b.u.t.ter a pan; then pour in the whites; then dip the yolks around in the whites; put in oven, bake two or three minutes and serve.
HAM OMELET
Mrs. Gorham
Chop fine cold boiled ham. Beat four eggs; add two tablespoonfuls milk, salt and pepper to taste. Mix with ham and fry on hot griddle, dropping a spoonful at a time. Serve hot. Any cold meat may be utilized in the same way.
OMELET
Mrs. Edward E. Swadener
Four eggs; one-half cupful milk. Separate the whites of the eggs, beat to a stiff froth; beat the yolks well and add salt, pepper and one-half cupful milk. Fold in the beaten whites. Have the oven hot; have the spider hot, put in a generous tablespoonful b.u.t.ter (bacon or ham drippings may be used), and when it melts add eggs. Let the omelet "set," then put it into the hot oven to brown. It should slip out of the spider without breaking if enough b.u.t.ter (or subst.i.tute) has been used.
Have platter heated on which the omelet is to be served.

Have one large onion and one green pepper cut in chips and fried as tender as b.u.t.ter, taking care not to brown the onion.
